I heard that DeWalt sold most of emglo to another company that is building all of the same old Emglo units by alot of the same people, but some of them are under a different name, Jenny Air Compressors. I also heard that Jenny did a lot of manufacturing for Emglo before DeWalt.

Check out www.emglocompressor.com

They look like the same old Blue units and they even use the emglo name on some but not all of the units.

Can anyone tell me what is up? Because I am tired of buying throw away units from DeWalt. I'd give my left you know what for a new emglo.

It's true most of hte emglo line was taken over by jenny in 2003 and the "good" guys were offered jobs there to do the same job they had done for years but for alot less pay. and another half hour away from their homes.As for the emglo plant well thats now been subdivided into different rental and warehouse spaces. As far as im aware back in the day the tanks and all were made in house as were the pumps. now maybe what im saying here isnt perfectly true and maybe a company would like you to believe that im dead wrong but to the best fo my knowledge this is the truth.

And as one of you guys said in your post that one guys said they made the pumps good back then they really did it was all made up well, he guys that worked there knew their jobs and how to do them well.

since they shipped the jobs to mexico there have been alot of sad faces around this town and alot of guys still havent found descent jobs because nothing pays as good as those jobs did so they all had to take pay cuts, some have come out in the green adn yet others are pushing to make ends meet and cant find a half descent job to save their tails.

well i guess thats enough yammering for right now and i am bias towards old emglo

Jenny/Emglo company history link. Pretty much tells the whole story in a nutshell.

I used to rep for Emglo in early 90s. That was when they sold out to some kind of Sweedish consortium. The next thing was to build Bostich units with the same round little Emglo tags, but they didn't say Emglo. If you look at the tag they show month then day then year and last the actual number of unit built. I have tow Emglos; a small 3/4 portable Airmate and a 15K-8P contractor unit. LOVE them both and rebuilt both of them. The last I heard on the grape vine was that they will NOT use the original Johnstown plant. They are also NOT useing any of the people either. They will be built by that Jenny air outfit. They made a lot of metal stuff for Emglo. Airfilter stuff etc. I don't know who built their tanks but most of the larger ones, 17gal. and up were ASME type. I heard that Dewalt shipped it all down to mexico land ..pooo.. and their quality????? control REALLLLL Y STUNK. One of the dealers I know who has a lot of nos and new parts did a warrenty on a new unit. This is a 17gal. skid unit that bolts to a service truck. Customer couldn't get any air out of it. It shurrre as He--l would work better with some pistons in it!!! I have started to see units around on service trucks and lawn care units. They blow lawn lines with them. Best damn cast iron small size pump you can get. Remember, these were first made in a home garage back in the late 50s. Look on the Emglo web site and see what they are up to. Jeffcat

I have a customer who claims to have cast the pump parts fer Emglo and he told me they could do the most with nuttin out of enny body he had ever seen. All they had wuz old machine equipment but new well on how to use it. I have a big Emglo compressor that I had to rebuild �bout 15 years ago cuz I let it set up and piston stuck. When I got it unstuck it had cracked the cylinder. Sum how a valve broke and caused the damage. I would like to know were I kin git parts if needed. The Emglo I have izz around 25 years old my dad brought it new to use in hiz small body shop and I use it now as my primary unit in the garage. It had a 3 HP motor on it and wuz rated fer a 5 HP. When the electric motor let go I replaced it with a 5 HP but never changed out to the 5HP pulley to turn it a little faster it werks ok with the smaller 3HP pulley so why take a chance. What oil would you run it, condensation izz a problem and oil gits milky putty quick here in NC

Just look on the internet. Google Emglo parts and a whole bunch will pop up. Look in the phone book under air or compressors and find Emglo service. The good people kept their stock of parts and I got everything I needed to rebuild my babys. Use straight 30wt non detergent oil. Also do not fill a "K" pump to the top with oil. The oil should only go to the first thread at the bottom of the hole. When they get good and hot you will spray oil from the vent behind the fly wheel if "over fill". This is where I hate how big business can screw up a good thing!!! When they offer an huge buck amount and the original owner final says "OK". Jeffcat

Gentlemen,

Jenny Products, Inc. purchased the Emglo line of Industrial Stationary Air Compressors and the entire Compressor Pump Manufacturing Facility from Black&Decker/DeWalt on November 20, 2003.

Jenny and our affiliated companies have been supplying and manufacturing the vast majority of parts, components, and assemblies for Emglo for almost 30 years. Our manufacturing capabilities include, but are not limited to, tool & die, general machining, sheet metal fabricating, and welding. We use many state of the art Robots and CNC machining centers. We are also one of the largest ASME certified U and UM pressure vessel manufacturers in the United States. Jenny and our affiliated companies are all family owned and operated businesses with over 300 employees. Since we are a distributor based company, you will find us very easy to work with and we will all do everything within our power to ensure your satisfaction with our compressors and our service.

Currently, we are manufacturing the entire Emglo line and have all of the spare parts available for immediate shipment.

Most of the machines and the parts are manufactured from the same castings, on the same machines by many of the same people who worked at Emglo.

Should you have any questions or comments or just need to order machines, pumps or parts, give us a call at (888) 425-3669. I hope this helps to clear up any misinformation and rumors concerning Emglo.

This is excellent news. Dewalt did not market the large stationary units properly and was only interested in the portable units, such as for contractors.

Emglo are very high quality units and with the four cylinder pumps on the two stage units, the have to be smooth running.

This is the Jenny steam cleaner company, which goes way back. I hope they do a good job of continuing the Emglo line.

Charles
